Bcc: Is My Life In 2018

Each and every day I am driven to write. I don’t know why but I hope that in future generations ( if they survive ) some of these words may be read by some remnant of humanity.

Each and every day I work on @BigReggaeMix writing to bands, working on expanding our station and building our brand. While I do this, I think of the thousands and thousands of people who through no circumstance of their own have lost their family, their home or their country.

A Bcc (blind carbon copy) is a copy of an email message sent to a recipient whose email address does not appear (as a recipient) in the message.

In other words, if you get a blind carbon copy email where the sender put only your email address in the Bcc field, and put their own email in the To field, you will get the email but it will not identify your address in the To field (or any other field) once it hits your email account.

The primary reason people send blind carbon copies is to mask the other recipients from the list of recipients. Using our example again, if the sender bcc’d multiple people (by putting their addresses in the Bcc field before sending), none of those recipients would see who else the email was sent to.

Bcc vs Cc

Bcc recipients are hidden from the other recipients, which is fundamentally different than To and Cc recipients, whose addresses do appear in the respective header lines.

Every recipient of the message can see all the To and Cc recipients, but only the sender knows about Bcc recipients. If there is more than one Bcc recipient, they do not know about each other either, and they will typically not even see their own address in the email header lines.

The effect of this, in addition to the recipients being hidden, is that unlike regular emails or Cc emails, a “reply all” request from any of the Bcc recipients will not send the message to the other Bcc email addresses.

If you have been on the front lines of watching people fight for their family and their life you have a particular appreciation when someone sends you something in a Bcc:

You cannot abandon these kind individuals who care enough to share their findings. Why do they send a Bcc: instead of an email? You are their line of last defense because they may be a place in their life where they have no one else to talk too.

Last night a dear friend of mine sent me a long Bcc: along with this video. She did the video not me, I give her 100% credit for this, and my heart and prayers go out to all of the families that have been touched by a medically disabled child.

In future postings, I will explain as a producer how to get your content out to more people without being censored. I’ve used every single platform out there, and I am still learning new ones.
